Turkish Delight

 I confess that I am not a talented sweets maker. The last time I tried to make Turkish Delight, over 10 years ago, it did not set.

I was going to a friend’s house for afternoon tea and wanted to take something without impinging on my friend’s catering. I chose to make some sweets, including Turkish Delight.

On this occasion, I got lucky and the Turkish Delight turned out perfectly.

If you want to have a go at making it yourself, here’s the recipe I used, from AWW Sweet:

My advice is to not go too heavy on the rosewater essence, because you don’t want your Turkish Delight to taste like soap. I only used a couple of teaspoons to give a faint floral flavour.

Enjoy!!
